Why Does Fructose Trigger Different Metabolic Responses Than Other Calories?
Hosts Emma Sullivan and David Park break down why fructose—particularly from added sugars—triggers different metabolic responses than other calories, exploring how it bypasses your body's satiety signals and drives fat storage in the liver without triggering the same fullness hormones that glucose does. They examine the science behind metabolic syndrome and explain why whole fruit is fundamentally different from high-fructose corn syrup, then offer concrete starting points like auditing liquid calories and reading ingredient labels. The episode reframes this as a system response rather than a willpower issue, making it actionable for listeners managing competing demands on their time and attention.Follow The Wellness Rhythm Show: ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessRhythmShow 📖 Newsletter: https://thewellnessrhythmshow.substack.com Powered by VoxCrea.AI
